# [For Android] My phone get locked for eSIM. How to open it

Owning an unlocked device is essential for iOS users. It allows easy carrier changes with eSIM, helping you avoid costly international roaming fees. A locked iPhone only works with SIM cards from the original carrier, so you'll need to request an unlock directly from them. Remember, each carrier has its own rules, and not all phones can be unlocked. Here are some ways to check:

1. Check through your phone device

You can verify whether your device is unlocked by checking the device information. If the option is missing or grayed out, your phone may be locked for eSIM. We do not recommend that you attempt to unlock it by yourself.
